Wow - by far this is the best I've read so far of his books. Could not put it down. Have already lent it out for a friend to enjoy.

Talk Talk
_Talk Talk_ is a disturbing book about sociopaths, identity theft, and there is a lot of talk. Ironicially, one of the main characters, who gets her identity stolen, is deaf so this book is multilingual. There are many conflcts between the theif and the victims, the hearing and non hearing, and men and women. This is an action packed book that leaves on the edge of your seat. You have no idea how Boyle will resolve all of the conflicts in his wonderful, readable, sad story.

Deafness & Identity Theft
TC Boyle usually chooses unusual themes and loves delving into the past, but this time he tackles a contemporary topic -- identity theft. As the victim -- a deaf woman -- chases the thief who ruined her life across the country, we learn a great deal about the challenges and prejudices faced by the deaf in a hearing world. The book is an eye opener on both topics, and a pretty good action tale with a fascinating villain whose gourmet tastes are indulged by otherpeople's credit cards.
